One Layer Card with Embossing

By
Time for another fab challenge over on Less is More and this week the brief was a one layer card with some embossing (dry or heat). I have had this idea in my head for a while now and today it took flight.

I took my card blank (5" x 5") and masked off a section roughly (!) in the middle. I then used one of my favourite stamps. It's from the Papermania Build a Poppy set - it's the largest flower in the set that stamps images for you to cut out and make a 3D flower. After stamping my image in Onyx Black VersaFine I covered it in clear embossing powder which I then set with my heat gun. It looked good just as a black and white image but I decided to colour the poppies in using some Promarkers. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up set Bird on a Branch and is also embossed. Here is a close up the embossing
Oops forgot to say I used a post it note mask to overlap the flowers.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and take a look - see you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    WOW! This is stunning! I have picked up that set of stamps several times, but never made it to the checkout with them, thinking I've got enough poppies. I know now that I need them!!!

    This is a real stunner Jacqueine! I bet it looked great as a black and white image but colouring it has given it such impact! The white space has really made it pop too. Love it! Vx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
